It’s amusing you think laws and police have any relevance when talking about armed conflict. Do you also wonder why Ukraine didn’t just send the police to arrest the incoming Russian invaders? After all, every Russian soldier on Ukrainian soil is violating numerous Ukrainian immigration, weapons, and trespassing laws. Why bother with the military? Just send the police to arrest them!
…You know, good point. If, for example, an American brings a gun to, IDK., Paris, and shoots someone, the only reasonable respone by France is to nuke Washington.
We’re not talking about some miners with a handful of handguns. I would assume such a hostile mining operation would be guarded by heavily armed private military contractors, someone like Blackwater. Think machine guns mounted on Humvees. Maybe the militarized American police could handle it. But I imagine the Greenland cops would have some issues.
It very much is. The topic here is private citizens doing crime abroad. If the Jakuza started an illegal mining operation in Sweden, it would be handled by the Swedish police. If they so require, the Swedish police would request assistance from the Swedish military. Either way, it would be an internal matter of a sovereign nation, to be handled by that sovereign nation.
Yeah, it’s disturbing to think it might come to that. Any violent reaction from Greenland would be playing into their hands. Whatever they do needs to be broadcast for the world to see.
Which goes against Greenland’s weapons laws.

And we’re also not talking about Greenland police, we’re talking about the Kingdom of Denmark.
That’s really not relevant to what they said.

There’s a name for a police for that’s successfully deterred Western advances into their territory.
The IRGC.
Are you with the US?
Or are you with the Terrorists?
False dichotomy.
